Vans – US Open of Surfing with Matthias Dandois

October 5, 2016

Curious what guys like Matthias Dandois got into during the Vans US Open of Surfing this past summer? Matthias wasn’t set to ride the bowl for the contest, but he was there to do demos, hang out with fans and have some fun on and off his bike! Here’s a look at what he got into during one of his days in sunny Huntington Beach!

“VANS athlete Matthias Dandois is without a doubt one of the busiest riders on the planet. His traveling schedule is one of a kind, and it´s beyond our imagination that he still manages to push himself and the sport on such a level. Competing is a big part of it; this year, he even managed to score his 5th Flatland World Championship title, and the 2016 season isn’t even over yet.

We were fortunate enough to have Matthias at VANS US Open of Surfing in Huntington Beach this summer, where he rode flatland demos next to the pier, supported his homies at the Van Doren Invitational BMX contest and generally dove into the typical Cali vibe.

Join Matthias on a regular VANS US Open day and get a glimpse of how his routine works on a daily basis – from waking up and having breakfast, to taking care of emails and taking photos at the contest, to riding demos and even chilled solo sessions on the beach. And also, meet Suzy the Dolphin, Matthias´ new partner in crime.”

GT Bicycles – Junk Food Pivotal Seat

October 5, 2016

Here’s something we’re sure some of you will be excited to see. GT Bicycles have released their “Junk Food” Pivotal seat as an aftermarket option. Originally found on their 2017 Performer complete, we weren’t sure if it would be an option for people looking for just the seat until now! The Junk Food pivotal seat has a 3-piece canvas cover with pizza, donuts and a few unique GT Bicycles logos and the occasional “YEAH!. The cover goes over a Fat padded base giving you plenty of cushion for sitting or throwing the bars and a hollow Pivotal bolt. The seat weighs in at 11.3 oz.

You can pick this seat up through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry GT Bicycles worldwide for $29.99 now!

Pro Walk America 2016

October 5, 2016

Andy Maguire sent through a video he put together from the trip that he took with Mario Alonso across America from California to Pennsylvania and a bunch of places along the way like Chicago! This has a pretty laid back vibe, but it looks like the guys had plenty of luck finding things to ride along the way. Check it out!

“Here is the by-product of a month long road trip Mario Alonso and I embarked upon from July 9 – August 12. I think we drove through over 25 states, and got to shred in a majority of those. It was awesome to make this pilgrimage, and if you haven’t already, I’d highly recommend driving across the country. There’s so much to take in from this country we live in, both good and bad. But one trend that stayed pretty true was that BMXers are always down to help other BMXers; whether it was showing somebody around, giving tips on where to eat, or offering a place to stay, the BMX community is still a big fraternity that has your back. Thanks for watching!

Fit Bike Co. In Glasgow

October 5, 2016

A few of Fit Bike Co.‘s UK and French connects loaded up in Ben Lewis‘ Cab to explore the streets of Glasgow, Scotland with filmer Peter Adam behind the lens. As expected with a crew consisting of Ben Lewis, Josh Roberts, Olly Rendle and Nico Badet, they had no trouble stacking plenty of amazing clips on the city’s spots, despite a little rain here and there! Hit play to enjoy just what these guys cooked up for you!

Oooft, we’ve got a belter for you today courtesy of our fine partners FIT Bike Co and a select bunch of their European contingent. Ben Lewis had been desperate to spend some more time in DIG’s euro HQ city, Glasgow in Scotland, for some time now after seeing endless flatrails and industrial splattered architectural gems. UK teammates Josh Roberts, Olly Rendle (a temporary Glasgow resident) and French Connexion Nico Badet, jumped in #thefullcab and joined Ben for five days exploring the city and leaving their mark (literally) all over the place. This is that good gear!
